Living Environment 2019-2020

Living Environment is a rigorous course that will prepare students for the NYS Regents in June. This class covers ecology, biochemistry, evolution, molecular and human genetics, DNA technology, human physiology and human reproduction. Students will have hands-on opportunities to practice and experiment with many of the concepts learned in class. A significant amount of studying must be completed at home to allow time for discussion, labs, and inquiry during class time.
